** Witch
** Sailor
** Clown

* The [[Clapper loader|Clapper Loader]] may [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible arms]] because the clapperboard appears to operate without anyone holding it.
* When Homestar talks in Spanish, his [[Homestar Runner Without His Speech Impediment|speech impediment]] is much lighter. For example, when he says, "homestarrunner.com", he does so without a problem.

This makes sense because it is take 126, and each take would probably be a minute or less.
* Homestar's shirt contains the earlier design color.
* At the very end of the toon, there are 21 extra frames that don't do anything.
* In the Spanish dialogue, Homestar should pronounce the name "Homestar Runner punto com", as "punto" is the Spanish name for the period mark.

<span id="goofs"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Goofs</span> ===

* When "Its dot com" appears on the screen, it contains a punctuation error: It should be "It's dot com" because "It's" is a contraction of "It is".
